Damien Sinclair has
witnessed more than his share of love's ugly aftermath—first as a child of
quarreling parents and these days as an acclaimed divorce attorney. His
solution? Control. From his immaculate, organized penthouse to his
monochromatic wardrobe to his refusal to let anyone get too close, Damien is
master of all he sees… Or so he thinks. Then an attempt on his life leaves him
struggling with PTSD.

Free-spirited Harley
Taylor, Damien’s childhood friend and a one-time fling, arrives on his doorstep,
having appointed herself his caregiver. She’s his polar opposite and hell bent
on redirecting his life. And if somehow that life might expand to include her
for the long term, even better. Either way, the man needs to learn not to take
himself so seriously. If that involves a prank or two, so be it.

Interacting for the
first time in a decade, Harley and Damien find their attraction still
smoldering. But to what end? Is Harley the shot of color Damien needs to
disperse the black cloud that plagues him? Or are they destined to destroy each
other all over again?

During the
day, Nancee works as a counselor/nurse in the field of addiction to support her
coffee and reading habit. Nights are spent writing paranormal and contemporary
romances with a serrated edge. Authors are her rock stars, and she’s been
known to stalk a few for an autograph, but not in a scary, Stephen King way.
Her husband swears her To-Be-Read list on her e-reader qualifies her as a
certifiable book hoarder. Always looking to try something new, she dreams
of being an extra in a Bollywood film, or a tattoo artist. (Her lack of rhythm
and artistic ability may put a damper on both of these dreams.)
